Sorrento Farm Food Experience: Olive Oil Wine TastingA farm tour and food tasting on a working Sorrento Peninsula property operated by the same family for four generations, where you walk the olive and lemon groves, watch organic farming techniques in action, visit the old oil mill and wine cellar, and taste olive oil, limoncello, wine, marmalade, honey, cheese and a light farm lunch. The experience runs about four hours with a professional English-speaking guide and includes pickup and drop-off from designated meeting points.Is it for me?Spend your afternoon watching a four-generation family farm in action, then taste everything they've just shown you how to make—no separate stops, no piecing together a meal.
Capri Blue Grotto boat tour: Small-group morning escapeA small-group boat tour from Sorrento that departs in the early morning to reach Capri's Blue Grotto without waiting, then cruises past the Green Grotto, White Grotto and Faraglioni rocks before giving you three hours to explore the island on foot. The itinerary shifts with sea conditions and the captain's judgment, and a Blue Grotto visit depends on weather and tide; if either closes access, you get extra time on the island or a longer swimming stop instead.Is it for me?Choose the morning departure if you want to reach the Blue Grotto before the crowds arrive—the early start is what makes that possible. Pick the full-day option if three hours on the island feels rushed; pick the 4-hour tour if you're short on time or arriving later in the day and want just the boat and the grottos.

Free time in each town means you set the pace; the guide handles the navigation on roads considered among the most beautiful and challenging in Europe.Is it for me?Book the small-group tour if you want to travel with other visitors and keep costs down, or the private tour if you prefer a dedicated guide and driver plus hotel pickup.
